Chalet Tetra, Les Arcs

This lovely ski-in ski-out chalet apartment is located on the second floor of the Alpages du Chantel complex on a blue piste just above the centre of Arc 1800. The ski bus to access other parts of this resort stops at the apartment building and the town is a mere 300 metres (approx) walk away. Chalets of this quality, this close to the slopes and the centre of town are a rarity – early booking recommended.

Chalet Tetra is a chalet apartment offering that little bit of extra comfort in a first class ski-in ski-out location. Part of the high quality MGM development, it is finished in wood and combines an attractive traditional alpine style with excellent modern comforts. All rooms are either en suite or have private facilities and room 2 enjoys not just a shower but an attractive corner bath as well. The open-plan living/dining room is warmed by a stone and traditional timber open fireplace and also has a balcony with beautiful views on to the piste and accross the valley. Due to the chalet’s proximity to the slopes there is a snowy path to the chalets so good walking shoes and easy to carry bags are recommended.

Meals - Chalet Tetra, Les Arcs

juice and unlimited tea and coffee, plus a daily variety of hot options such as poached eggs, sausages, tomatoes and hash browns with croissants and pain au chocolat (or local breads, ham and cheese in Austria and Switzerland)

A freshly baked cake or biscuits with tea and coffee awaits.

In the evening

Aperitifs and canapes followed by a delicious freshly cooked 4 course meal including a cheeseboard with a selection of superior regional wines unlimited until coffee and after-dinner chocolates are served.

There is also an optional welcome drink where you can meet the team and learn what is going on in the resort (and our après ski programme) during your stay.

Breakfast and dinner will be served on 6 out of 7 nights and a continental breakfast will be left out on 1 morning.

Flexible Catering

This chalet is available with flexible catering. With a range of catering and hosting options from the bare minimum to the full works - The choice really is yours!

You really can't beat a chalet for the real home-from-home environment; large living areas with comfortable sofas, a roaring log fire and often your own private hot tub or sauna. But whilst the fully catered chalet offers fantastic value for money, we recognise that some of you may prefer a little more flexibility in your catering arrangements and may even prefer to cook for yourselves altogether.

So what do you get?

We have specially chosen a selection of our smaller chalets for their superb locations, rooms with en suite or private facilities, and comfortable living areas. Pay one price for the whole chalet for a week which includes:

Full service from our resort team including restaurant booking and a programme of apres-ski events

Our UK team will arrange your catering to suit your needs and dietary requirements. You are free to choose how many breakfasts, afternoon teas or evening meals you would like, plus select from one of our great value wine packages

Chalet Tetra Reviews

I have just returned from a week in Chalet Tetra, Les Arcs 1800 on the 26/03/11. There were 4 of us travelling and we had a nice early flight leaving at 06:10am — I prefer to get to resort early and get my equipment sorted anyway. We were met by the reps at Grenoble and on our way 30 mins later.

Our chalet staff were waiting for us when we arrived and helped with our luggage which was great. The chalet is ski in ski out which is great with a short 50 meter ski down the mountain to the first lift. If you need to go to the town centre it is about a 5 min walk down a steep hill. The chalet is very cosy and we were made to feel at home straight away. Chalet Tetra is an enhanced chalet so the food and meals were of top quality. The chalet was kept very clean the whole time. We were served a complimentary glass of champagne and hors d'oeuvres every night before dinner. We also indulged in plenty of free wine until coffee. The chalet has a small balcony overlooking the valley with a great view of Mont Blanc. Room 2 has a great big bath. Ski lockers are downstairs and easy to get to. Lift passes are brought direct to the chalet.

The resort of Les Arcs has a huge ski area so we were spoilt for choice. It is very easy to get up to Les Arcs 2000 and higher. Don't miss the Aguille Rouge as it has a great view — you can take either a scary black or windy red back down the mountain. I really enjoyed the variety of runs and snowboard park was lots of fun. They have music and a huge blow up bag to practise jumps and tricks. It is also very easy to get over to La Plagne on the Vanois Express. So linking the two resorts gives you an even bigger ski area.

On the whole an amazing trip even though the snow lower down was starting to melt. Having a glacier and being very high up meant plenty of snow on the upper slopes. We were looked after like VIP's by our reps and chalet staff. If you are looking for quaint town feel then it might not be for you — it's a purpose built resort. If you are looking for huge ski area with something for all abilities, great quality chalet and service with amazing views then this is for you!

I would definitely take friends back there and book again.

Spent Christmas 2010 here. Great view of the fireworks from chalet on Christmas Eve but resort quiet for apres ski. People don't go out until after 10:00pm.

Chalet common area too small when full. Rooms basic but reasonable. Not too inconvenient having the private toilet rather than ensuite.

Excellent intermediate runs in the trees during the many flat days during this week in the Vallandry and Plan Peisey areas. Can be very windy and cold at top of Col De La Chal when crossing over to Arc 2000. Arc 1600 surprisingly nice in good conditions for tired legs. Highest point of area Aiguille Rouge, go if the weather is good for great panorama and take the short steep hike up to the view point.
